Unless Zhang ages overnight i think he may stop Kabayel early

Kabayel will walk into a counter in the first 3 rounds and it'll be lights out.

 

Kabayel is a smart fighter imo and i think he will be able to exploit Zhangs weaknesses for a UD. I'm excited for this one.

 

Good find. I had never seen that before. And, it was only a couple fights ago. I was previously picking Kabayel mostly because Zhang has looked so old and sluggish in his last few fights. But, if Kabayel fights like that, he will get knocked out cold. He really looks terrible in that fight. I am starting to think that the Frank Sanchez injury flatters Kabayel.

 

I hope so because Zhang is probably my favourite fighter right now, but I think Kabayel is a nightmare style for him, fast around the ring, quick hands, slick, good body puncher.

Zhang early or Kabayel decision imo.

 

I could definitely see both scenarios playing out, Zhang getting old overnight and Kabayel outworking him to a decision, or if Zhang still has some gas left In the tank I can see him getting the stoppage. But I'm going with my gut, that's Zhang KO.

 

I think Agit will be VERY cautious for first 4/5 rounds given Zhang's propensity to gas and have very low output after that. But Zhang is sneaky, so Kabayel may well walk on to something

 

The 22 February card is looking fantastic.
This one alone is making it good.

I'd like Big Bang to win and follow it up with a match with Usyk in Tianamen Square before 1 million Commies.

 

Zhang doesn't have this type of output and stamina

More power .... undoubtedly yes. But not the same volume

I think Kabayel will just be cagey and in reverse gear looking to counter Zhang as he comes in over the top, then dig to the body and get the hell out of there.

 

Kabayel needs to box at range with plenty of movement sinking body shots in when he can,everybody knows Zhang is dangerous early so Kabayel will more than likely play it cautious until the halfway mark then try and up the pace and win by UD or late stoppage. At some point old age will catch up to Zhang especially somebody the size of him,will be it be against Kabayel,let’s see .

 

Kabayel by late stoppage. He's gonna fight smart for first half, invest in the body, then pour it on from halfway. Zhang will be tired from his ringwalk alone and after failing to KO Kabayel with his sneaky single shot counters, his tank will run dry. He's shown zero signs of fragility but I wonder if Kabayel stops him with body barages....?

 

I'm curious to see how anyone could "invest" in Zhangs body without getting swiftly sent to the shadow realm. I'm not saying Kabayel can't do it - since he has done just that to big punchers before with his brand of educated, savvy pressure - but I'll be seriously impressed if he does. Nobody yet has had any success against Zhang by any other method than running around in circles throwing pot shots like he's a video game boss.

 

That’s why this is a great fight, anything can happen

 

Yep.That's what I'm expecting. OK, Zhang's getting on now, but he's defo been on a roll.





And ATM, he's still rollin'.....
